...with any new vaccine, there are plenty of unknowns about Gardasil. The CDC's Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices recently studied 542 reports on side effects out of 2.1 million doses given. Most were minor and expected: pain at the injection site, fever, dizziness and fainting. "Any procedure involving a needle has a risk of fainting," says Dr. John Iskander of the CDC's immunization safety office, which recommends waiting in the doctor's office for 15 minutes after any shot. Another unknown: how long the protection will last and whether a booster will be needed. Merck says its studies...

Printed books, moreover, are a more pleasurable reading experience for many readers, and the joy of stumbling upon a useful but theretofore unknown book while searching for its neighbor in the stacks cannot easily be replicated online. HUL has also become much more student-friendly in the past several years; we hope this trend will continue. Lamont’s 24/5 operating schedule has been tremendously popular, and ought to be made permanent...
...That’s when the interview requests rolled in—mainly from websites for soccer junkies, including ESPN.com’s popular Soccernet site. Message boards lit up with requests for more information about the unknown Ivy Leaguer. Soccer bloggers raised their eyebrows—“I can’t find too much fault with his game,” read one blog called Du Nord—and simultaneously downplayed Akpan’s performance against an unexceptional Caribbean team with a middling goalkeeper...
